Reviews for Understanding Stocks, Third Edition
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It seems that my intention to find a good entry level primer on investing in the stock market was successfully fulfilled with my purchase of Michael Sincere's Understanding Stocks. He begins with the basics and the early history of the stock market in America, then moves on to strategies and tools which are used by investors. I appreciate the author's candour as he advises that investing in the stock market may not be right for everyone and that there are other areas of personal finance which should be taken care of first. Easy to read and accessible, I highly recommend Understanding Stocks to anyone curious about investing.
